Why do you want abs?
You may want to lose fat or to gain lean mass, but the most common reason I think most guys want that washboard stomach is to impress the ladies

Whatever the reason, you need real a understanding of nutrition and a proper plan to get those sougth after abber dabber do’s. Thomas Jefferson once said, “All men are created equal.”

However, it is also a fact that every individual has a different way of adapting to resistance training to stay fit. It is in your genes how you respond towards abs training; however you CAN adapt and get the very best out of YOUR body.

You Are Not Getting Abs Despite Training – What is The Reason?

If you’re not getting a six-pack after intense training then the influential factor most likely is that your body fat is too high (therefore covering your abs). The other major factor is selected exercises (their sets and repetition) to get your abs to really POP. What you need to determine is the right intensity level and the sets of exercises that work well with your abs. You also need the right diet plan that helps your drop your body fat.

The Biological Reason for Fat Storage

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme, is to be blamed for storing the fatty acids in different areas of your body. More body fat is stored in the areas that have high LPL levels. Recent researches have also confirmed that high testosterone levels in a man’s body causes less fat accumulation. The reason is that these sex steroids confiscate the LPL enzyme and interestingly, the LPL action is more affected in the thigh region compared to that of the abdomen.

What Are the Demands of Six Pack Abs?

It is not possible to get the comments “Holy s%$t – check out his Abs!” with just one day’s worth of effort. You have to follow certain directions and have to stay DETERMINED and CONSISTENT. Read the relevant sections below and understand the crucial facts that should be clear in your mind!

Body Fat Loss – An Obvious Happening!

You may think you are OK, compared to other men around you in terms of body fat, but still you have to cut down 10% of your existing body fat to be noticed and another 7% more to look stunning. You may see several fat loss programs offered online, but not all of these are influential and result-oriented when it comes to balancing health as well. Only two recommendations can help you: good diet and high intensity interval training.

Carb Consumption Control – Really, You Need it!

To get steel abs, you need some dietary changes. Do not get scared (if you are a food lover); lean meat, vegetables and fruits (full of fibre), and nut proteins are the way to go. It will feel hard at the start to say “No to Carbs”, but with time, it will get easier. Keep in mind that you want abs!

Intermittent fasting is another approach that will help you to kill your carbs craving. It also speeds up the fat loss while keeping the muscle mass intact.

Eyeing The Calorie Intake – You Can Cut it Down!

Not all people need a cut in calories, but yes for those who want to get abs, calorie cutting becomes essential sometimes. If, despite intermittent fasting, the fats are not reduced, then it means you are taking more calories when not on fasting. You need a calorie chart because many foods, though eaten in less quantity, contain calories beyond your thinking. Nuts, cracker, chips, sweets, pizza, peanut butter, and avocados contain very high calories.

HIIT Cardio – It is Better than LSD!

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) cardio is better than Long Slow Distance (LSD) cardio. HIIT is performed in short cardio sessions that involve short work bursts, resulting in increased heart rate and hence an active recovery. 3-5 sessions of HIIT are good enough per week, but it all depends on the intensity level you can bear for the training.

Workout for the Abs – Helps Earlier Development!

You have stronger and developed abs, but they will not become visible unless you are not lean. With workout, developed abs will start showing them earlier. Heavy abs training with a range of 10-15 reps is good enough, as recommended by expert trainers. Dragon flags and hanging leg raises are the effective abs exercises.

Heavy Weight Lifting – Helps Fat Loss!

It is not necessary to go for weight lifting, but if you do this, you will get an attractive body along with fat loss. More muscles mean more calorie burn and therefore the speedy metabolism. Your weightlifting plan depends greatly on your individual targets, but it is sure that you will witness a great speed toward achieving that six pack goal.

Just like everything in life, you need the right information to get started with your six pack mission. You can work for it on your own, but the supervision of an expert trainer can do the magic and help you avoid any harm, which may be caused due to the wrong training or adverse diet changes. It is not as if it will be a dream fulfilled over night, but a process that needs care from the start until that goal is achieved.

After you get your dream abs, do not stop training, it is a requisite to maintain those abs for longer. Know your body, know your habits, and follow a plan that complies with your physique.

Make one thing clear that you have abs, but what you need is to let them pop out through healthy diet, training, fat loss, and lean mass gain.
